April 8, 2010 is One Day Without Shoes.
Fact #1
In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to school, clean water and to seek medical help.
Fact #2
Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
Fact #3
Often children cannot attend school barefoot.
Fact #4
In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease cause by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
Fact #5
Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes and basic foot hygiene.
Go the day, part of the day or even a few minutes, barefoot, to experience life without shoes first hand and to help spread awareness of the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child's life.
ONE FOR ONE!
